Each facilities’ needs are different which is why we create an Energy Assessment Report to identify your current expenditures and what our recommended solution will do for your bottom line.

CHP systems are found in a variety of sectors. If the facility has a need for electricity as well as the thermal energy, they are good candidates.

Examples include: hospitals, long term care facilities, apartment or condominium buildings and hotels, industrial plants as well as municipal services, such as schools, universities and community centres are great candidates for CHP.

Our micro combined heat and power systems are designed to manage your electricity baseload. Meaning they can not be used as a back up generator for supply required above and beyond the predetermined baseload.

Our cogeneration units are encased, which reduces the noise significantly. The output of noise is similar to the engine noise you would hear while sitting in a car running at 1500 RPM. In other words, it’s quiet and won’t affect your residents.

Each solution is customized to your unique building therefore times may vary. However, on average installations are completed in 6-8 weeks.

We will always do a site visit before determining the best solution for your facility. During this visit, we will also determine the best location for installation. The units themselves are relatively small, about the size of a refrigerator, which allow for installations in basements, garages, mechanical rooms, etc. All units will fit through standard doorways.

• You have a naturals gas connection
• You use electricity
• You have a need for thermal energy (to heat building, hot water, pools, etc.)
• We will then review approximately 12 months of energy bills to review energy consumption. We also use this data to produce an Energy Assessment Report.

Although natural gas is the most common fuel used to power mCHP there are other options such as bio-gas or propane.

As an end-to-end provider, dbs services the equipment at no additional cost to our PPA clients. If you have purchased the system outright, there are maintenance products which you are eligible to purchase. Some issues may be able to be resolved remotely while others may require a technician to be on site. Either way, in the unlikely case that your cogeneration unit is not working correctly, call dbs and we will assist you.

We follow the manufacturer recommended maintenance schedule. Depending on the equipment installed the service intervals can vary from as little as once a year to 3 times a year.
